An Apostille is an official stamp that validates the authenticity of a public document for use in another country. It is commonly used for documents like marriage certificates, birth certificates, and legal papers that need to be recognized abroad.
Denmark is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which means documents can be legalized quickly and easily with an Apostille issued by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
If you get married in Denmark and plan to use your Danish marriage certificate in your home country or for immigration purposes, you will likely need an Apostille to make your certificate legally valid abroad.
The Apostille process confirms the signature and origin of the document—not the content—and attaches an official Apostille stamp or seal to it.
We can help you handle this process:
We submit your marriage certificate to the Ministry.
We obtain the official Apostille stamp.
We send the certified document to your home address.
Without an Apostille, your marriage certificate may not be accepted by foreign authorities.
Some countries also require an official translation of your marriage certificate into the local language. We can guide you through that as well.
An Apostille is typically required for individuals or entities who need to use a public document (such as a marriage certificate, birth certificate, divorce decree, or diploma) abroad in a country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. This process ensures that your document is legally recognized internationally.
Here’s who typically needs an Apostille:
International couples who got married in Denmark and need their marriage certificate recognized abroad.
Immigrants and expats who must prove identity, marital status, or legal status for residency, visa, or work purposes.
Students applying to universities or academic institutions abroad using their educational diplomas or transcripts.
Business or legal professionals using contracts, notarized powers of attorney, or court documents internationally.
Adoptive parents completing international adoptions who need birth or adoption certificates legalized.
Anyone submitting Danish public documents to a country that requires apostille legalization for official use.
If you’re planning to use any Danish-issued document in a country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, you will likely need it to be authenticated with an Apostille stamp from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
